Describing something that prevents, treats, or helps reduce the pain and inflammation of arthritis, a disease that damages joints.
From 'anti-' (against) + 'arthritic' (relating to arthritis), from Greek 'arthron' (joint) + '-itis' (inflammation). Modern medicine created this term to classify drugs treating joint diseases.
Scientists have discovered that some of the best anti-arthritic drugs actually trick your immune system into stopping its own attack on your joints—it's like calling a ceasefire in an internal war!
